In the Old Testament, covenants were solemn agreements between God and His people, such as the Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic covenants. Keeping the covenant involved obedience to God's laws and commands, reflecting a relationship based on trust and commitment. The concept of covenant is foundational, as it signifies God's unchanging promises and the expected response of faithfulness from His people. In the New Testament, the New Covenant established through Jesus Christ fulfills and transcends the old covenants, emphasizing faith and grace. The call to keep His covenant is a call to live in accordance with God's will, reflecting a life transformed by His grace.<p><b>and remember to obey His precepts</b><br>This phrase highlights the necessity of not only knowing God's commands but actively remembering and obeying them. The act of remembering in biblical terms often implies a deep, intentional focus on God's words and deeds, leading to a life of obedience. In Deuteronomy, the Israelites are repeatedly urged to remember God's laws and the mighty works He performed on their behalf. This remembrance is not passive but involves a conscious effort to align one's life with God's instructions. Obedience to God's precepts is a demonstration of love and reverence for Him, as seen in Jesus' teaching in <a href="/john/14-15.htm">John 14:15</a>, "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." This obedience is not merely legalistic but is a response to God's grace and a reflection of a transformed heart.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/103.htm">Psalm 103</a>, David was the second king of Israel and a man after God's own heart.
